We all must ensure that the Indian Standard becomes the International Standard. We must work with the motto of ‘Desing in India, Design for the world’.India must lead the world in creativity and gaming. Not by playing games, but in developing gaming products that are exported to the world.
Today, India is seeing participation and leadership of women in every field – be it entrepreneurs, start-ups, space sector, armed forces, sports – women are leading on every front, but we also see and hear cases that are grave and saddening.

The media should also prominently highlight such cases so that these demons are shamed.
